I'm currently on TN status and the visa will expire on Oct. 2010. My employer would like to apply permanent residency for me. I consulted the lawyer about applying for EB2-PERM.
I thought I need to change TN to H-1b. But my lawyer said that I do not need to change my TN visa to H-1b, and I can stay with TN while applying for permanent residency. He also said I need not to worry about having the intention of immigration when renewing my TN visa.
Is this true? I guess which is very confusing to me because TN visa is non-immigrating visa. Would you like to enlighten me on this? Thanks a lot,
Flynn
